If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4. If the package is not used anywhere, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-13271/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-13271/index.md)","id":"MAL-2026-13271","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-13271/index.md","name":"MAL-2026-13271","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":null,"cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"devplatform-utils@35.5.2 ships an index.js whose main module require()s _bootstrap.js, which on load downloads a platform-specific binary payload from string-split-obfuscated Cloudflare Workers endpoints (e.g. oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT fallback via *.dl.wel1.ru.

A rate-limit token stored at /tmp/.analytics_state (EXPIRE_SEC=21227, ~5.9 hours) causes the remote binary to be re-fetched and re-executed on subsequent require() calls, providing a persistent operator-controlled code-delivery channel.

No hash or signature verification is performed on the fetched binary.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":null,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":null,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":null,"nuclei":null,"refs":[],"tier":null},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Malicious code in devplatform-utils (npm)","id":"MAL-2026-13271","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"malicious","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":null,"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":[],"introduced":[],"last_affected":[],"package":"devplatform-utils","purl":"pkg:npm/devplatform-utils","source":"MAL-2026-13271"}],"products":null,"published":"2026-08-05","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"OpenSSF Malicious Packages","prefix":"MAL"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":null,"updated":null,"vendors":null},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/MAL-2026-13271/"}
